According to the logarithm definition:


\log_bc=a\Leftrightarrow b^a=c

In this question:


\begin{gathered} 3.6=6^x \\ which\text{ }is\text{ }the\text{ }same\text{ }as \\ 6^x=3.6 \end{gathered}

Then, comparing with the definitionm:

a = x

b = 6

c = 3.6

And, transforming to the log form:


\begin{gathered} \begin{equation*} \log_bc=a \end{equation*} \\ \log_6(3.6)=x \end{gathered}

Answer:


\operatorname{\log}_(6)(3.6)= x
